RIP Benny Parsons

Former NASCAR champion Benny Parsons dies
DAVID POOLE
Benny Parsons, whose gentle nature made him a favorite among NASCAR fans as a broadcaster and whose competitive fire drove him from his father’s taxi company in Detroit to the championship in stock-car racing’s top division, died early Tuesday at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.

Just saw the news on Cold Pizza. This really sucks. Benny was one of the good guys in NASCAR. They will no doubt do a tribute to him at Daytona when the racing season starts. He helped NASCAR become a household name.
